A racist has been fined after he shouted abuse about passengers at a Tyneside Metro station.
Mark Kindley was in the dock to face a racially-aggravated public order allegation - just seven days after being fined by a court and ordered to pay compensation for necking wine and lager inside the shop he'd just stolen them from. The 36-year-old found himself back before magistrates this week after he made racist comments about passengers to staff at Northumberland Park Metro Station, in Shiremoor.
A court heard that Kindley, who had been stopped by Nexus employees for not having a ticket, said "Those Indians are not capable enough to fight with me" and "Those p***s are not intelligent enough" in reference to a group of people he'd been arguing with on a Metro train. The shocked staff reported his offensive language to police and he was arrested.
